Bone loss and stress markers in implant gum disease
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at markers of bone damage and stress in people with gum disease around dental implants (peri-implantitis). It aims to understand how the body responds, which could help improve treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old and generally healthy.
- You have a dental implant that has been in place for at least 1 year.
- The implant has signs of gum disease, like bleeding, deep pockets (≥5 mm), or bone loss (≥2 mm on X-ray).
- You are not a current smoker, and have not smoked in the past.
- You have not taken antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, or steroids in the last 3 months.
- You do not have diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, or osteoporosis.

This study looks at how bacteria in your mouth change when all your teeth are removed and replaced with dental implants. If you have severe gum disease and need all your teeth extracted, joining this trial could help researchers understand your healing process.
This trial compares two ways to treat gum disease around dental implants (peri-implantitis) and natural teeth (periodontitis), using either a non-surgical approach or a non-surgical approach plus an antibiotic gel. It aims to see which method works better to reduce inflammation and improve oral health.
This study looks at whether tiny metal particles from dental implants are linked to the progression of peri-implantitis, an infection of the gum and bone around an implant. It may help researchers understand why some implant infections get worse and could lead to better treatments.
This study looks at how often gum inflammation (peri-implant mucositis) happens around dental implants in people who previously had gum disease and are now in maintenance care. The results may help clinicians spot risk earlier and improve oral care around implants.
This study looks at the genetic and bacterial profiles in gum disease and implant infections. It might help find new ways to diagnose or treat these conditions.
This trial studies people with advanced gum disease (periodontitis) or gum inflammation around dental implants (peri-implantitis), and compares them with people who have healthy gums. The goal is to understand inflammation and how it relates to these dental conditions.
